.< Vol42, No. Id Flestierton, Ont., September Jl? 1921 PRICEVILLE A cumber of people were cutting their corn lasii wek and the crop ia in fine condition for harvesting. Not the leait injury from frnst as yet. Beans are a gcod crop and are ripening well thia year. A special gang of men have been laying 801k) steel rails on this branch of the C.P.-R. Miss Maggie McArthur, who under- went an operation in the hospital some weeks ago, was able to be removed here to the hotue of her sister, Mrs. A. Mc- Arthur, on Tuesday of last week. It is hoped that she will improve and be in normal health again toon. Her brothers Alex and Archie, of Saskatchewan, ac companied her hooie here. A J McVicar is improving hits hotel premise?. John MaVicar, over on the 5in con. north of the village, had over 50 bags of sweet, clever resulting from a few hours' threshing the beginning of last weeTs. Nurse McKinnnn has gune out to J S McMilUns (six corners) to attend Miss McMillan, who is ill at presnnt. We have seen tome nice Green Mm taiti potatoes, as large and dry as you could wish for, on a dinner table, but it 's said that the crop will not be as abundant as in former years. Mr Win Stewart, an old resident of the 18th c<>n Proton, south of the village, parted away at lua Home early Saturday morning of last eek, aged 73 yearn Interment will poisibly take place on Tuesday afternoon in the new public cemetery here. A Grett Potato Crop W, U. Dowus, a farmer of the Gra- fraxt road, according to the Owen Suud Sun Time' will this fall harvest over 3000 buskel of potatoes, in additio* to several hundred bushels of early potatoes already marketed. In spite of the fact that the pcta'.o crop.? generally in this section aie not the best, his crop will be uniformly good. This year Mr. Downn, who lives about a mile and a half from Owen Sound, had 35 acres i-f potatoes under cultivation. Five acres were pUnted to early potatoM, which h tve been harvested aud marketed, realizirg over $600. Thirty acres, planted with different varieties, are" still to be harvested Over 3000 will be taken from these fields. These wnen ready will amount to 'JOOO bugs. Undoubtedly this is the largest potato crop ever I ikon up in this pirt of the country and Mr. Downs should realize seme rive or six Ihouwnd dollais from the sn'o of hit crop. Ths farm on which the pnta'oes are grown had a avrt of sandy loam which is peculiarly adapted to potato growing. In addition to this, fertilizer Is used. The potatoes aro not hilled up but are contin- utlly cultivated and looked afier ill season. Fall Fair Dates Chattworth Oct 13, 14 Chesley .
